VINTAGE FORMAT

Vintage decks may contain cards from any Magic card set, any core set, and all special sets, supplements, and promotional printings released by Wizards of the Coast.

Cards from expansions and special sets (e.g., From the Vault, Magic: The Gathering—Commander, Duel Decks, Conspiracy) are legal in the vintage from that set’s release date. All promotional cards are also legal in this format, from the date that card was released. Promotional cards are legal in Vintage on the day of their release.

Vintage is a constructed format and therefore adheres to the following constructed rules:

Minimum of sixty cards

No maximum deck size, as long as you can shuffle your deck unassisted

Up to fifteen cards in your sideboard, if used

With the exception of basic lands (Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest), your combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.

Note: The five snow-covered lands from the Ice Age block—Snow-Covered Plains, Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Swamp, Snow-Covered Mountain, and Snow-Covered Forest—are also basic lands. Snow-covered lands are only permitted in formats that allow expansions from the Ice Age block.
